Ken Osmond aka Eddie Haskell passed away today at the age of 76. Rest In Peace Eddie!

Osmond portrayed Haskell as sycophantic to grownups while making fun of them behind their backs. He was a high school friend of Wally Cleaver, older brother of Theodore “the Beaver” Cleaver, and constantly trying to entice his friends into activities that would get them into trouble.  During the final years of the show, Osmond was in the U.S. Army Reserve.

When the series ended, Osmond continued working as an actor, appearing on “Petticoat Junction,” “The Munsters” and a return appearance on “Lassie.” He appeared in feature films “C’mon, Let’s Live a Little” and “With Six You Get Eggroll,” but found himself typecast as Eddie Haskell.

Osmond joined the Los Angeles Police Department in 1970 and grew a mustache to be less recognizable. In 1980, Osmond was shot in a chase with a suspected car thief, though he was saved by his bulletproof vest. He was put on disability and retired from the force in 1988.

One of the worst characters in tv history. I couldn't stand that guy.

RIP

hahaha ... wasn't that the point? From everything I've read he seemed to be a good guy that everyone loved.

A testament to not only his acting but him as a person. Eddie  Haskelling was a verb when I grew up.
